Lone Pine 1976 Original Scoresheets

The "Tiger's" signature (one is printed in the book and his original
signature on the left bottom). This taken from the "1959 Candidates
Tournament" by S. Gligoric & W. Ragosin. "Kandidatenturnier für
Schachweltmeisterschaft" -- Bled / Zagreb / Beograd // 6 September
-- 31 Oktober 1959. First Printing: Jugoslawischer Schachverband //
Beograd 1960. Note: This fabulous chess book was formally in my
extensive book collection. I'm keeping an unsigned *mint* copy... :-)

A typical "Tiger" positional game. First he restricts you.
Then he exploits your weaknesses and just like a boa con-
strictor slowly and decisively he devours you! ~lol~ ;-)

Both original scoresheets are in very good shape (they
remained boxed & fully protected for over twenty-seven
years). The scoresheets are signed by both players on
each scoresheet (matched set). Suitable for framing... :-)

Just because it's funny I had to add this to my eBay ad
(my standard revisions disclaimer follows):

Note: All revisions to the text were to tweak the layout, the
color
selections & to correct the exact wording. One word: finished! :-)

Hehehe... Good try prophylactic chess breath... Corrected Art's
move #49 to 49... Nd6 instead of 49... Nf6 and also inserted the
correct Time Control above the game score (Thanks Allan! :-)))
